Ole & Lena: 

One warm spring morning Lena and Ole were having toast and coffee on their front porch. Ole was being quiet and thoughtful. Suddenly Ole said, “Ven I die I want you ta sell all my stuff immediately.”

“Now vhy voould you vant me to do dat?” Lena asked.

“Vell,” Ole said, “I figure a fine healthy vidow like you voould get married again pretty quickly, vich is fine vit me, but I don’t vant some stupid idiot using all my personal stuff.”

Lena’s eyes flashed with humor and she said, “Now, Ole, vat makes you tink I’d vant to marry another stupid idiot?”

Birdie with a yellow bill, hopped upon my window sill, cocked a shining eye and says, “What would you do if your wife sat on your corn….popper??” Bee Boop!
